"Yes, yes, it's me, not my father, who gave me the order. These people must be investigated and dealt with, they want to kill my brother Aman. Zhao Xiche breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again.

As a weaver in Jiangning, Cao Xili, the head of the Cao family, naturally also led the army to come, he saluted Yang Aman, and then quietly glanced at the assassin who was detained.

"Stay ......!" Rong Wei, who was quick-eyed, was also one step slower, and the black-clothed assassin killed himself.

"The traitor is extremely guilty, and he is innocent of death, so His Royal Highness King Xian is safe. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this matter was handed over to the local government and Dali Temple to co-organize. Of course, the minister will also report to the saint according to the rules, and obey the order. Cao Xili quickly came to a conclusion.

Rong Wei glanced at Cao Xili meaningfully, and did not stop it, but secretly walked to the corpses of those assassins and marked the emblem on the hilt of the sword.

"Good, good, check, check thoroughly!" Zhao Xiche responded with satisfaction, and pulled Yang Aman again, "This is Yang Shanchang, no, Yang Ge's granddaughter, Yang Aman." You escort her back to Yang's mansion, and also report to Yang Ge's elders. ”

Cao Xi bowed down, so he escorted Yang Aman back to his home, and a crisis was revealed so lightly.

The long night was long, and Guixiang was drunk, because the undercurrent bred by this assassination had already made half of Jiangnan smell an unusual breath.

Qian Mansion, Wisteria Dock. The lights were like beans, the master did not sleep, and another palace lamp entered the depths of the vine flowers from far and near.

"I've seen the head of the house." In the small building in the shadow of sparse flowers, Cao Xili put down the palace lamp, knelt on the ground of the bamboo mat, and bowed his head deeply: "The minister is incompetent...... The assassination failed, and the head of the family was asked to surrender. ”

Qian Mu leaned against the green screen window, holding the lamp in his hand, the evening breeze blew his satin-like black hair, stirring the pale green eyes swaying: "Yang Aman escorted back?" ”

Cao Xili was slightly stunned and recalled: "Yes." also informed Yang Gong of what happened. Yang Gong thought he was an ordinary bandit, and he also thanked God for saving his granddaughter's life. ”

"Isn't that it? Not a failure. Qian Mu stretched out his slender index finger and picked up the lantern, as if there was no indifference.

"But the original order of the head of the house was...... Kill Yang Aman! Now that it can't be killed, things are big, and there is no more chance! The sin is extreme, the sin is extreme! Cao Xili was sincerely frightened, and knelt at the foot of the money curtain, but before he could get close, a cold wind blew, a black shadow was like a charm, and the dagger rested on his neck.

"Who allowed you to get close without the permission of the head of the house?"

Su Qian's cold voice sounded in his ears.

Cao Xili's scalp was numb, and he suddenly forgot the rules. hurriedly retreated to the hall and bowed to the sin: "The minister knows that the mission has failed, and the sin deserves death!" I just ask the head of the family to let go of my Cao family, and I Cao cherish the gift alone, and I am willing to die! ”

Qian Mu shook his head at Su Qian, and his smile spread, but he didn't dip into his eyes at all, so the face of the waning moon was like a cloud of smoke, revealing unreality.

"You're not stupid. Yes, Yang Aman, I want to rely on her to win over Yang Gong. Yang Aman was in the spring of this year, and I specially gave a big gift, revealing a few words of intention to let Yang Aman and my Qian family get married. My Qian family has a good son, and it is not a loss to her. As a result, Yang Gong, an old-fashioned man, was really stupid in reading, and only recognized the word loyalty, and hurriedly accepted the holy decree of the official, and went to Beijing to take up his post on the same day. It's really hard for him, he hasn't been out of office for half his life, and for the sake of Yang Aman, he even bent his waist to the officialdom. ”

After a pause, Qian Mu's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he added: "I'm afraid that Yang Aman's entry into Beijing will definitely attract her, such as marrying a family." ”

Cao Xili kowtowed again and again in the hall, and echoed: "The master's clever plan should have been seamless, and it is all to blame for Yang Gong's brainlessness......"

"Okay, he can be regarded as a great Confucian with real skills, and he is rude." Qian Mu interrupted, watching the jumping lights in the marigold, the hall was silent, and no one dared to squeak to disturb him.

Yes, the source of the turmoil is Yang Aman.

As the only descendant of the third generation of the Yang family, she has naturally become the sweetheart of the power game of all parties, and the Qian family, as the lord of Jiangnan, first intends to show goodwill.

But Yang Gong, who was not born in half of his life, adhered to a loyal word in the Four Books and Five Classics, and immediately received the imperial order from the imperial palace, first indirectly rejected the Qian family, and secondly, he put himself under the command of the Heavenly Family, which is worthy of the "loyalty only loyalty to the king".

Cao Xili cautiously glanced at Qian Mu's expression, the more he knew the cause and effect, the more he was in awe of this man in purple, how ruthless and ruthless he was inside, and how he couldn't see it outside.

The Yang family and the Qian family drew a clear line, and Yang Aman soon became a pawn of the Heavenly Family. So what you can't get, you can't let the other party get, and the man in purple gave a life and death order to the Qian family's secret subordinates: Kill, Yang Aman.

It's just that Zhao Xiche stirred up the situation and ignited the military order, which was unexpected.

"Report to the head of the family, and the close guard of King Xiaoxian, I'm afraid that he noticed something unusual." Cao Xili wiped his sweat and said tentatively, "The minister saw that he paid attention to the emblem of the Qian family's dark part on the hilt of the sword......"

Su Qian next to him was startled, and his knuckles grabbed the dagger.

In the shadow of the remnants of the flowers under the shadow of the lamplight, the man in purple just pinched his fingers, learned the lyrics in the play, and sang endlessly: "Babble...... The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, how can the hero be afraid of the wind and rain......"

On the other side of the Qian Mansion, the guest rooms are also brightly lit and sleepless at night.

The rooms were crowded with carved beams and paintings, and the servants and guards only had a place in the courtyard, kneeling on the bluestone slabs silently.

The main seat of the hall with a solemn air sat Zhao Yin and Liu Hui, and Zhao Xiche next to him had already changed into a clean palace robe, and Rong Wei knelt in the hall, staring at him from all directions.

"In the case of the assassination of King Xian, I have ordered the Jiangnan Patrol and Dali Temple to co-organize, and be strict and urgent!" Zhao Yin opened his mouth, his face was pale when he was still sick, and he was about to stop and take a breath after saying half a sentence, "There is also the emblem seal presented by the Wei guard, I also handed it over to Yu Linwei, and I secretly investigated the master behind it, who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall...... Ahem! ”

Speaking of qiji, Zhao Yin didn't slow down, couldn't stop coughing, and Liu Hui next to him hurriedly patted him on the back and served ginseng soup with his own hands.

"Ministers, obey the imperial decree !!"

The officials who knelt in a room brushed and bowed, and the sound shook the night sky. Assassinating the prince is a big crime, and it is naturally a great opportunity for meritorious service.

Zhao Yin sipped the ginseng soup, his face turned a little bloody, looked at the kneeling generals in the hall, and nodded: "You have made a great contribution." Whatever reward you want, just ask. ”

"Don't dare! Protecting the little virtuous king is the responsibility of the ministers! Besides, if it weren't for the TOEFL military order, I'm afraid that the ministers wouldn't be able to be comprehensive! Rong Wei bowed his head, and refused with a detached refusal.

Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows, with silent displeasure.

Zhao Xiche next to him immediately rushed up, hugged Zhao Yin's knees, and shook around coquettishly: "Father, Huaiyang knows!" Huaiyang knew what reward Ah Wei wanted! Would you like to hand it over to Huaiyang? ”

Looking at those sparkling eyes, childlike, Zhao Yin immediately turned his anger into joy, and touched the top of Zhao Xiche's head: "Okay, just follow our little Xianwang's will." Whatever reward you ask for him, as long as he is willing, I will immediately order it. ”

Zhao Xiche glanced at Rong Wei, who was kneeling, his eyes were burning, he knelt down, and said: "Huaiyang was greedy for the establishment of his father Emperor Yu Lin Wei and his eldest brother Long Xiangwei, so he thought that he would also create such a close death soldier." Ah Wei is good, Yu Linwei is obvious to all, and now he has made great contributions, and his loyalty can be learned, so Huaiyang asks for the grace of Ah Wei ......"

"Only Ah Wei?" Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows.

"That's enough." Zhao Xiche smiled.

The room was full of consternation. Zhao Yin also lowered his face, if he didn't remember what he just said, he would have immediately refused, and Liu Hui was also stroking his forehead beside him, scolding Zhao Xi's absurdity.

The king's Yu Linwei and the East Palace's Long Xiangwei are all the existence of the so-called dead soldiers. Needless to say, martial arts is a major premise, the most important thing is "direct subordinate", guarding day and night, only kneeling the lord alone, only listening to the lord's order, for example, if the East Palace orders Long Xiangwei to kill the king, Long Xiangwei can immediately pull out the knife.

Therefore, the most pinching thing in the cultivation of this kind of dead soldier is the word "loyalty". Anyone who is picked out by Yu Linwei or Long Xiangwei is at least a "loyal" who has served the lord for more than ten years, and even grew up together from a young age.

The air in the hall was stagnant, the officials looked at each other, and a close guard who jumped out halfway was suddenly promoted to the first person next to the lord, does Xiaoxian Wang know how many strokes and strokes of the dead word?

Zhao Xiche hadn't noticed anything unusual, and thought about Meizizi's plan: "I've thought about it, Ah Wei was only my close guard during the southward journey, and after I went back, I ended up as a guard and came to Cheng'en Palace." Ah, also, because I am the only one who dies, I am called Wei Weiwei......"

Everyone rolled their eyes, and the officials didn't know where to start the impeachment.

"Nonsense! If you really want to have a dead army, I will send people from the Yulin Guard, and count it in you! Pick a day, take your pick! Zhao Yin drank in a rough voice, so he knelt on the ground again, asking the king to calm his anger.

Zhao Yin knew Rong Wei's life experience. Although he had plans to make him surrender and temper Zhao Xiche, he had no intention of letting Rong Wei jump directly to the most life-and-death position next to Zhao Xiche.

After all, this is not a question of whether you are subordinate or not, but directly sends the evil wolf to the bed, and you may not know when you bite it, and you can die directly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiche was so desperate that he was so desperate that he cried and made a fuss, and almost hanged himself: "I don't care!" I'm going to want Ah Wei to be my Wei Weiwei! I believe in him, he's qualified! ”

It was when the hall was full of chickens and dogs jumping and stalemate that the silent swordsman in the hall suddenly spoke.

"Minister, thank you. The minister knows that he has trespassed, but please refuse. Rong Wei kowtowed, and his head slammed on the glazed brick floor.

Zhao Xiche thought he was scared, and reached out to pull him: "Ah Wei, don't be afraid!" My little virtuous king will die here today! I must ask for you, you don't care, let me come...... Wei? ”

The conversation stopped abruptly.

There was a clear sound. Rong Wei took a step back, and Zhao Xiche's outstretched hand hung in the air, stiff.

Rong Wei took a deep breath and bowed down again, and the cool air on the glazed brick floor rushed in from the center of his eyebrows, and his heart was full of ice: "Rong, Chen, return, refuse." ”

One word at a time. The swordsman spoke slowly, seemingly difficult, but very sure, and everyone around him could hear it clearly.

Zhao Xiche trembled, his little face turned white, he looked at the hanging hand, and was in a trance: "Why?" Weiwei Wei belongs to me, it belongs only to me...... Wei is unwilling? Why? ”

Rong Wei glanced at Zhao Yin, the latter's eyes were like eagle falcons, he lowered his head again, swallowed a sour throat, and replied: "There are good sons and daughters all over the Western Periphery, and they have their own virtuous guards His Highness." The minister's martial arts are shallow, his family background is low, and he does not dare to accept His Royal Highness's kindness. ”

Zhao Yin and Liu Hui glanced at each other, satisfied, and the officials in the hall also nodded their heads, all satisfied, this statement is self-aware.

Only Zhao Xiche staggered to Rong Wei, knelt down, and looked at him at eye level, his eyes red from shock were filled with tears, but he didn't even have the strength to fall.

"I thought it would ...... Would you like to come to me......"

Come to me, this closest location, I thought you would.

Zhao Xiche couldn't say this sentence, his voice trembled, and the black, white, ruthless, and sour eyebrows were all stirred together, making his little face dark.

"I ...... Minister ......" Rong Wei tried to speak, but he didn't want to say these two words, but he didn't say it in the end.

"Very good, Wei Wei guards take care of the overall situation, and I am very relieved." Zhao Yin interrupted in time, nodded with a smile, "Ah Wei was promoted as a close guard, for the sake of going south, to protect Huaiyang. After I go back, this official position will also be over, I heard that Ah Wei runs a shop in the suburbs of Beijing, I will reward you with gold and silver, so that you can return to your hometown in fine clothes and live your life as a common person. ”

Zhao Xiche raised his head suddenly, trying to argue something, but was interrupted by a decisive sentence from the swordsman in the hall.

"Minister, thank you." The swordsman bowed down, his head lowered, and he couldn't see what he looked like.

Zhao Xiche's little head drooped.

Rong Wei didn't dare to raise his head, because he didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Xiche, and he didn't dare to look directly, some of his thoughts were already in September, and in late autumn, he felt as if he was suffering from heat stroke again, and his chest was full of pain.

The vicissitudes of life, the past is like smoke. How can a surviving person like him, who has been trampled in the mud of the new dynasty, stand beside the newly rising sun.

Time is like a river, and they have long been rowed as people on both sides of the river.
